## Character

        

Walkable, independent-business-oriented, unpretentious. Appeals to those who find 12 South too polished and East Nashville too expensive.

      
    
    
          
        

## History

        

Melrose developed in the 1920s-1940s as a South Nashville streetcar suburb. Its 8th Avenue commercial spine historically served working-class neighborhood residents and retained a modest character through most of the late 20th century.
